Table 5.
Species interaction factors (SIF) for co‐occurrence (Φ) and codetection (δ) between African golden cats and each of four small carnivore species in Kibale National Park, Uganda, in 2013–2014
| The effect of African golden cat on | Occupancy SIF | Detection SIF | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Φ | SE | LCl | UCl | δ | SE | LCl | UCl | |
| African civet | 1.15 | 0.02 | 1.12 | 1.19 | 0.87 | 0.04 | 0.80 | 0.94 |
| African palm civet | – | – | – | – | 0.04 | 0.04 | −0.04 | 0.11 |
| Rusty‐spotted genet | 1.09 | 0.02 | 1.06 | 1.13 | 1.55 | 0.04 | 1.47 | 1.63 |
| Servaline genet | 0.97 | 0.10 | 0.78 | 1.16 | 1.24 | 0.01 | 1.22 | 1.26 |
Both SIF measures are presented with standard errors and confidence intervals. Avoidance is indicated if the SIF is below 1 and attraction if it is above 1. Significant interactions are indicated when confidence intervals do not overlap 1. The best model for African palm civets did not include an interaction effect on the occupancy parameter.
